How did the cotton gin increase the production of raw cotton? (5 points)

Because the cotton gin was a tool that helped make the production of cotton way faster than just picking it out. Therefore, by making cotton available faster, the slave master thought that the more the slaves, the more the cotton, the more the cotton, the more money they make. 

A modern mechanical cotton gin was created by American inventor Eli Whitney in 1793 and patented in 1794. ... It revolutionized the cotton industry in the United States, but also led to the growth of slavery in the American South as the demand for cotton workers rapidly increased.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
